About

Cool words found roaming the streets, unattended (ie mostly not listed elsewhere) have been reposited herein. Most are forgotten English, some are more or less modern terms that I feel are shamefully underused.

In the old Wordie it was even more thus. Words didn't exist in the database until someone listed them. If that (solitary) lister then unlisted the word, you would have an orphan entry. We referred to these as ghosts. uselessness was forever ghosting words. Someone else set up an adoption agency to try to find homes for them. Was it dontcry?
